She gets the house and gardenHe takes the boat and the carBoth their hearts have hardenedTo the way things areThey're not quite sure what happenedDidn't see it slip awayThere wasn't any big problemThey just forgot to pay attention

It happens all too oftenLoves dies in vainWe drive the nails in the coffinAnd just bury the blameSo many excusesWe'll say it's hard to explainWhen the simple truth isWe just didn't pay attention

It's harder than it seemsSo many things get in the wayBut when you think of what you stand to loseIt not such a high price to payAttentionJust pay attention
